Hiking
This trekking adventure takes you deep into the breathtaking landscapes of the Picos de Europa National Park. Discover its rugged beauty by walking through the wild terrains of its western, central, and eastern massifs.
Located along Spain’s northern coast near Santander, the Picos de Europa is a limestone mountain range that spans the provinces of Asturias, Cantabria, and Northern Castille y León—Spain's largest province. As one of the earliest National Parks in Europe, this eco-destination offers unspoiled nature, free from mass tourism and the infrastructure that often accompanies it. Here, humans and nature coexist harmoniously.
The towering peaks, reaching up to 2,600 meters, the deep valleys, and the green pastures where livestock graze at heights of up to 2,000 meters provide a stunning backdrop. This region has many wildlife, including bears, wolves, eagles, vultures, chamois, deer, and alpine plants. The Picos de Europa is also steeped in history, with traces of ancient civilizations such as the Celts, Romans, and early humans evident throughout the park.
Only 40 minutes from the Cantabrian Sea, the mountains offer spectacular views of the ocean and their distinctively sculpted peaks. Dotted with charming villages nestled in valleys and scattered across the massifs, this region offers an authentic taste of rural life, where local culture and gastronomy thrive.
This tour promises to immerse you in everything the Picos de Europa offers, combining scenic walks with cultural and environmental experiences.

The CadÍ-Moixeró Nature Reserve is an essential place for nature lovers and can be contemplated anywhere in the region. Its peaks range from 900 metres (in the lowest areas of the valleys) to the 2,648 metres of the Canal Baridana mountain.
With a surface area of over 41,000 hectares distributed between Berguedà, Alt Urgell and La Cerdanya, it includes the mountain ranges of El Cadí and Moixeró, the Pedraforca massif and a large part of the hill of Alp and Puigllançada. It creates a mountainous barrier thirty kilometres long.
This geography offers a variety of landscapes, such as those of foothills, alpine and sub-alpine areas, and rocky environments with their characteristic rich vegetation and fauna. Given its east-west orientation, significant climatic differences are caused between each side, particularly the amount of rain. Similarly, small masses of water, such as torrents and some springs, can be found due to the calcareous structure.
The vegetation is dominated by meadows of fodder and garlic in the valleys, surrounded by fields of potatoes and beans. Deciduous trees, such as beech, oak, ash and willow, form the forests. Despite this, the trees that dress these spots are the Scots, black pine, and, in a smaller number, fir trees.
The animals inhabiting the area are typical of the high mountain, most notably the woodpecker (the park's symbol), Tengmalm's owl and the marten. However, the lords of the heights are the ibex, with a population of more than 2,600.
This is, in fact, the protected area in Catalonia with the most significant number of inhabitants and species of flora and fauna of European interest.
In addition to the natural beauty, the secret heritage of the park is a point of particular interest for tourists. The medieval walls and the porticoed square of Bagà are two perfect examples, not to mention the Gothic church and the towers and walls of Bellver de Cerdanya. The rural architecture and the picturesque of most of the towns and villages that form part of the park make visits an absolute pleasure.
This Tour is ideal for hillwalkers with a good level of fitness & recent experience walking at grade A or B.
